Periodical studies is an interdisciplinary field of the humanities and social sciences concerned with the study of periodical literature, typically including newspapers and magazines. Although periodicals have long been a subject of academic study, the emergence of periodical studies as a cohesive field is often traced to the rise of digital archives. [1]
While periodical studies is often considered a product of the digital age, the roots of the field go back considerably further. The Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals, which appeared in five volumes from 1966 to 1989, is among the field's founding texts. [2] The first volume, and Walter Houghton's reflections on editing it, inspired Michael Wolff to establish the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals and its journal in 1968. [3]
